Revolutionizing Education: Blackboard Coming To The BlackBerry?

College and university students and professors from Louisiana State to Clemson will no doubt be familiar with the Blackboard software platform.

Blackboard announced Monday that it will acquire NTI Group (a large mobile messaging provider). So what this means for us here at CrackBerry? Well, it might lead to more BlackBerry centred educational applications in the future. Educational apps here we come!

Today's modern student will no doubt embrace the technology. This could be one of the first steps in integrating the BlackBerry into modern education at the best colleges and universities around the world. Think of the advantages... Test scores, assignments and reminders could be sent to you instantly on your BlackBerry. You could adjust your schedule or message your professor with questions in real-time.

This could be an eye opener but we'll see if it goes anywhere. The BlackBerry in the educational world could and should be a winner in my opinion.

Revolutionizing Education: Blackboard Coming To The BlackBerry?

This would be awesome, coming from a student who frequently uses blackboard now. Every year more teachers utilize Blackboard which makes it more important, coming from a BB user i would now doubt be on this non-stop....

Louisiana State University will be phasing out Blackboard over the next year in favor of open source Moodle. LSU is also very behind on Blackboard updates, almost 2 whole versions. That would mean it would takes many years to get Blackberry support.

My guess is that their purchase of NTI will *not* be used to allow mobile technologies to students. More likely, it will be used as an "early warning system" like the kind that would have been helpful in the Virginia Tech shooting situation. So students who are at a Blackboard school could receive campus-wide announcements much more quickly. The days of every student carrying one connected device are still a long ways off.

I love sensual women and not passionate ones. A passionate woman closes her eyes, moans and shouts and the enjoyment of a passionate woman is blind.

A passionate woman writhes about, grabs you with her hands without looking
where, clasps you, kisses you, even bites you and hurries to reach her climax
as soon as she can. She has no time to display her sexual organs, no time to
examine, touch with the hand and kiss your sexual organs, she is in such a
hurry to slake her passion. Having slaked her passion, the passionate woman
will fall asleep. The sexual organs of a passionate woman are dry. A passionate
woman is always in some way or another mannish.
